Q

AUX Hydraulic Mode functionality

A

Allows operator to manually control the servo valve in the event of a RMIU failure, bypassing the RMIU and RMCU.

Does not have the following:

  • Safety interlocks
  • Auto stop at trail
  • Seats or locks the TA
  • ESD protection

Requires only hydraulic power and 28 Vdc.

DO NOT lower TA into the water in AUX HYD because ESD is bypassed. Can only lower when TA is submerged.

Q

Which landing site is the primary consideration when recovering a hung dome?

A

primary consideration shall be given to recovering a hung dome ashore or aboard aviation ships (CVN or LHA/LHD)

air capable ships may be considered if ambient conditions and POCL permits pilots’ adequate reference to position the helicopter

Q

Raise speed limiter function

A
  • Works with servo-valve on hydraulic motor to ensure raise speed does not exceed a set threshold
  • Ensures safe TA approach speed
  • Does not provide any function during lowering
  • Does not function during AUX Hydraulic or AUX Hardware Electric modes
  • [RSL FAIL] error if threshold exceeded
18
Q

ESD protect functionality

A 
At approx. 20' below the aircraft the RMIU commands the ST/R into ESD protect mode. This disconnects the TA from the ST/R prior to water entry.
ESD protection disabled when the submerged switch and depth sensor within the TA both indicate that the TA is submerged and the RMIU detects a change in cable tension as the TA enters the water. 28' - 40' depth.
19
Q

Automatic Approach

A

can be initiated at any airspeed and altitude < 5000’ AGL

On profile >40kts: 215fpm descent / 2.5kt/sec decel.
On profile <40kts: 130fpm descent / 1.5kt/sec decel.

Above profile: 360 fpm descent / airspeed hold
Below profile: RADALT hold / 2.5kt/sec. decel.

20
Q

Automatic Departure

A

can be performed from a coupled hover or automatic approaching will terminate at 150’ / 120kts

Profile:
< 85kts: 3kt/sec accel. / 240fpm climb
>100kts: 1kt/sec accel. / 240fpm climb

AFCC monitors torque to prevent increase >120% below 80kts and above 106% above 80kt.

21
Q

Hover Coupler requirements

A

engages when:

  1. within 1 KGS of longitudinal velocity selected
  2. within 5 KGS if manually engaged
  3. RADALT engaged within 2’ of hover altitude selected

AFCC monitors torque to prevent increase above 116%

22
Q

Cable angle hover display references when submerged and not submerged

A

submerged: cable’s vertical angle relative to the surface of the water

not submerged: cable’s vertical angle relative to the center of the funnel

23
Q

Cable angle hover display associated numbers and cautions/warnings:

A

Inner ring = 4.25 degrees
Outer ring = 8.5 degrees
Tick marks = 2 degrees

[CAUTION] If the 4.25 inner ring is exceeded as the dome is leaving the water, there is an increased risk of the transducer striking the aircraft which may result in aircraft damage.

[WARNING] If the 8.5 outer ring is exceeded while the dome is leaving the water there is a significantly increased risk of the dome striking the aircraft, including the rotors which may result in aircrew injury or death.

24
Q

How long does it take the AFCS to calculate a solution for current, winds, sea state, etc. in cable angle hover?

A

25 seconds

25
Q

Which modes only raise and not lower?

A
  • AUX Electric
  • AUX Hardware Electric
26
Q

Which modes have full safety features?

A
  • Normal Hydraulic (Auto/Manual)
  • AUX Electric
27
Q

Which modes do not have safety features?

A
  • AUX Hydraulic
  • AUX Hardware Electric
28
Q

When do you get the “Dome Wet” indication?

A

Once both the SUBMRG indicator and the ESD sequence is complete, the dome wet indication on the flight display will be displayed. Then Cable Angle hold is enabled.

29
Q

RMCU

A

Reeling Machine Control Unit.

Contains operating controls and failure indications for the reeling machine and provides the means for lowering and raising the transducer.

In AUTO mode, preset depth commands may be issued from a menu, and acknowledged or cancelled via the RMCU. In MAN mode, the SO commands depth changes via the RMCU. The RMCU also contains indicators for monitoring reeling machine control system status.

30
Q

RMIU

A

Reeling Machine Interface Unit

RMIU controls the reeling machine functions, regulates smooth transitions of transducer dipping activities, and performs the reeling machine BIT.

The RMIU also provides electrical interfaces between components of the dipping sonar system. There are no controls or indicators on the RMIU. It is on the starboard side of the reeling machine at the rear starboard corner of the aircraft cabin.

31
Q

TILT indicator in RMCU

A

TA tilting > 10.5 deg

32
Q

KITING indicator on RMCU

A

A kiting condition is when the cable is paying out at a greater rate than the TA depth is increasing.

33
Q

BOTTOM indicator on RMCU

A

TA < 50’ from ocean floor

34
Q

[CABLE ANGLE AT LIMIT]

A

Caution to alert the crew of potential cable damage.

The cable angle has exceeded 7.5 deg of total deflection relative to the center of the funnel.

35
Q

Submerged Override

A

SUBM OVRD allows pilot to override the 27 +/- 12’ water depth requirement for engaging cable angle hover mode.

Cable angle must be manually disengaged when TA raised through 27 +/- 12’ water depth when using SUBM OVRD.

If cable angle hover fails to engage with TA submerged, pressing SUBM OVRD then pressing Cable Angle will engage cable angle hover mode.

36
Q

[CAUTION] Failure to delay a minimum of _________ for oscillations to dampen at trail before raising to seat increases risk of damage to TA and cable.

A

two seconds

37
Q

The auxiliary hydraulic control system provides the capability to raise or lower the TA in the event of a loss of _____________.

A

Normal reeling machine control

38
Q

The auxiliary electric motor provides the capability to raise the transducer in the event of a loss of ___________________.

A

Hydraulic power

39
Q

What is “trail” defined as?

A

TA is 6’ below the aircraft (10’ of POCL).

40
Q

Automatic (remote) and Manual (RMCU) Hydraulic modes

A
  • Normal dipping sonar operating modes
  • Full capabilities
  • Full safety features
